When Politics Get Personal: Politicians’ Most Insulting Slurs & Feuds

Hugo Chavez Had Choice Words For President George W. Bush

Former Venezuelan president Hugo Chávez didn’t pull any punches when he verbally attacked President George W. Bush. He once said of our former leader, “The devil came here yesterday, and it smells of sulfur still today,” during a meeting with the United Nations General Assembly in 2006. Bush had just spoken to the assembly the previous day. Chavez also labeled Bush as “Mr. Danger” and “the drunken cowboy.” He went even further by calling the American President “more dangerous than a monkey with a razor blade.” Chavez was president until 2013 following his death from a heart attack. He also battled colon cancer.
